SWPC’s obligations will be supported by a credit guarantee from the Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Saudi government.
Synergy Consulting has been appointed as lead and financial adviser, with Amr Al Amr Law Firm and Fichtner appointed as legal and technical advisers respectively.
The Jubail-Buraydah scheme is the fourth IWTP project that Saudi Arabia is pushing ahead with.
Energy & Utilities recently reported that SWPC had invited firms to submit request for qualification (RFQ) for the Rayis-Rabigh independent IWTP project. The Rayis-Rabigh IWTP will have a transmission capacity of up to 900,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d), with the pipeline planned to have a length of 100km.
Energy & Utilities reported in September that SWPC had invited firms to submit EOI for the Riyadh to Qassim IWTP.
The Riyadh to Qassim pipeline will have a total length of 1,392km and will have a water transmission capacity of up to 685,000 cm/d.
SWPC is also pushing ahead with the Ras Mohaisen to Mecca IWTP project. In September, SWPC invited firms to submit RFQ documents for the project after having received EOI from 35 companies for the public-private partnership (PPP) water transmission scheme.
The project will involve the financing, construction and operation of a water transmission pipeline from Ras Mohaisen – to Baha – to Mecca. The water transmission pipeline will have a capacity of 300,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d) and a total length of 300km.
The IWTP project is likely to include a pumping station and a 300km pipeline to carry the water from the IWP to Baha and Mecca.
The projects are part of the Saudi National Water Strategy 2030, under which a key goal is to provide 90 per cent of national urban supply by desalinated water to reduce reliance on non-renewable ground sources.
